a-sun amissa is a new project formed out of leeds, uk by members of glissando. built on the foundations of the unknown, a project that encompasses minimalist drones, modern-classical movements and avant-garde tendencies. richard knox (glissando, the rustle of the stars, of thread & mist) & angela chan (glissando, the rustle of the stars, ten, tomorrow we sail) began forming the initial ideas in the autumn of 2011, moving away from the piano-led ambience of previous outputs.

it s been quite a year so far for x-press 2 not only are the legendary dance floor vanguards at the pinnacle of the international dj fraternity, they remain all round purveyors of the uks finest house music, and with that to start the new year off nicely the eclectic duo are set to release their eagerly anticipated third studio album offering the house of x-press 2.

austin-based vvv is one of a new wave of garage producers whose music actually feels like an honest mixture of vintage and modern touches, rather than a trend-hopper looking to capitalize on a few dubstepforum fruity loops tutorials. he s an artist who happily mixes and matches signifiers, lacing his productions with subtle streaks of colour and leading them into unexpected detours. over the course of across the sea vvv swings from gleeful todd edwards-style vocal mush (-aisle seat-) to sepalcure-esque house-tinged workouts like -retreated- to more experimental fare. on tracks like -stuck between- or the stumbling punch-drunk jungle of -duration of light-Ñwhere breaks crash through filtered soul samples and cause ripples like dominoesÑhe always keeps the tracks backbone intact while doing some of the weirdest things to bass music youll hear this side of machinedrum. across the sea doesnt have the same visionary outlook as room(s), but it shares that albums embrace of fine-tuned sequencing and development. the tender, reflective moments that occasionally pop up are its best, whether its that memorable opener or the fogged-glass beats of -among the whispers,- which admittedly sounds a little like burial but higher-definition, with high-strung chords recalling netsky more than untrue. the albums closer -all that weve been through- nicely sums up the proceedings, throwing an out-of-context piano on top of another burial-esque beat loaded up with reverb yet still cutting clear as day. its perfectly representative of vvvs aesthetic: his debut album isnt always made up of entirely original ingredients, but like any good chef, he knows how to present it in a way thats irresistibly appetizing.

you know the story by now, a string of super singles, a number one in the nialler9 irish song poll of 2010 (which turned them into temporary jerks kidding) and a constant string of live dates around the country have made squarehead one of the better bands in ireland and now, we re finally at the debut album chapter. its been a long time coming. squarehead initially recorded their debut album back in september and december last year with shane cullen in k9 studios and save for a couple of extra tracks and re-recordings of old favourites mother nurture and fake blood, the band have patiently been sitting on it since. yeah nothing is a dozen tracks of no-nonsense slacker indie pop, a fuzzy collection of lo-fi rock n roll inspired by surf-pop, old school rock n roll and bright guitars.

musikalisch ist drums between the bells die abwechslungsreichste arbeit enos seit jahren. perkussive tracks, basierend auf industrial/noise, rock oder ethno-elementen wechseln sich ab mit elektronischen oder klassischen listening-passagen von erhabener schšnheit. doch das album ist mehr. sŠmtliche tracks sind mit gedichten des lyrikers rick holland versehen, vorgetragen von eno persšnlich oder personen seines umfeldes (fitnessstudio, ladenangestellte, buchhalter, grafikdesigner, ...). jeder trŠgt seinen part inviduell unterschiedlich vor: narrativ, per vocoder verfremdet, als mantra, mit echo verhallen, stakkato, hypnagogisch, als gebet, abstrakt. eno nennt sie speech-songs. seine arbeit ist eine innovative kombination aus musik & text, eine neuartige form von sprechgesang und sicherlich sein interessantestes werk seit langem!

with this, his debut full-length album entitled when the clouds ran away the man behind the music si tew has seamlessly tied together the many elements of musicality he loves, and from this has delivered a polished masterpiece of modern day electronic soul. featuring a talented crew of collaborators, the album swings from glitchy swung break beats via heart felt soul to organic cinematic compositions, and although this may seem like an impossible task si tew has produced this genre hopping expedition perfectly. the wonderful vocals on this album are performed by a handful of the uks best including leamington spas siren shanade, who opens the album with the divine >silhouette< gliding effortlessly along and introducing the oncoming album traffic

hectic times require adequate measures. shorten the text message, shorten any url, filter a newsfeed to make a broadband broader - in any way, take a shortcut wherever you intend to go. while the world is struggling for convenience, those who chose the road less travelled will soon become - or already are? - outsiders. in many ways this is the case of jacek sienkiewicz - with over 30 releases behind, and over a decade of running his own label, he persistently followed his very own path, creating music that very soon began to be impossible to define. friendly, but not fraternizing with everyone and his family, modest, but stubborn only in a positive way, jacek is an individual with clear, personal vision and an unorthodox approach to music - light years away from the hectic, utilitarian ethos of club-derived electronic beats. and this story finally took shape - at the same time rock solid and otherworldly ethereal - in the form of “on the road , without any doubt one of the few rare records, this complex and challenging, to be derived in recent years from the music formerly known as techno. this album successfully attempts to embrace virtually all aspects of modern electronic music - from rave-like club bangers, through detroitish passion and deep house-like style, towards ambient soundscapes that are mariana trench deep

2010 release by this project from bristol-based musician scott hendy. anyone who has seen the recent bansky documentary exit through the gift shop has likely heard diego & the dissidents though they may not have realized it. an album that almost never saw the light of day, now resurrected just in time to see brilliant tracks such as -contaminated water pt. 4- and others add depth and intrigue to a film already featuring an -against all odds- theme.

2015 re:issue

the sound of phenomenal handclap band is an anthemic, dancefloor-oriented blend of progressive rock, disco, electro, and 60s soul with sprinklings of hip hop-styled orchestral breakbeats and moody, synth-soaked & heavy hooks.a rock spectacle-supergroup that really is not to be missed!
